An extended $U(3)_L\bigotimes U(3)_R$ chiral theory which includes pseudoscalar and vector meson nonets as dynamic degrees of freedom is presented. We combine a hidden symmetry approach with a general procedure of including the $\eta'$…
The decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons are calculated in a relativistic quark model which assumes that mesons are made of a valence quark antiquark pair and of an effective vacuum like component. The results are given in terms of quark…

The light-quark non-strange scalar mesons a0(980), f0(980), f0(1370), a0(1450), f0(1500) and f0(1710) are of great interest as there is no generally accepted view of their structure which can encompass q-q-qbar-qbar, molecular, q-qbar and…
The crucial points of physics of light scalar mesons are discussed. The special attention is given to the chiral shielding of lightest scalar mesons and the production of the well established light scalar mesons in the \phi radiative…
In this paper, radiative decays $\rho^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma, \pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ ,$\phi \to K^+K^-\gamma, K^0 \bar{K^0}\gamma$ are studied systematically in the U(3)$_L\timesU(3)_R$ chiral theory of mesons. The theoretical differential…
We show on gauge invariance grounds that the fine threshold phenomenon is discovered in the radiative decays phi->gamma a0->gamma pi0 eta and phi->gamma f0->gamma pi0pi0. This enables to conclude that production of the lightest scalar…
We discuss scalar mesons properties on the light of chiral dynamics. Considering them as the chiral partners of pseudo-scalar mesons we propose an explanation to their unusual properties based on non-trivial vacuum effects coming from the…
A coupled-channel analysis of BESIII data on radiative $J/\psi$ decays into $\pi\pi$, $K\bar K$, $\eta\eta$ and $\omega\phi$ has been performed. The partial-wave amplitude is constrained by a large number of further data. The analysis finds…
Two-photon decays of light scalar mesons are discussed within the quarkonium and tetraquark asignements: in both cases the decay rate of the sigma resonances turns out to be smaller than 1 keV.
We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
We investigate the relevance of the meson loops in the $f_0(1710)$ scalar meson decay into one photon and one vector meson, ($\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$). In particular we estimate the size of the loops coming from the decay of the…
The structure of the scalar mesons has been a subject of debate for many decades. In this work we look for $\bar{q}q$ states among the physical resonances using an extended Linear Sigma Model that contains scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and…

The scalar meson exchange in $\phi\to P^0 P^0\gamma$ decays is discussed in a chiral invariant framework where the scalar meson poles are incorporated explicitly. $\phi\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ and $\phi\to\pi^0\eta\gamma$ are in agreement with…
We study different types of radiative decays involving f0(980) and a0(980) mesons within a unified ChPT-based approach at one-loop level. Light scalar resonances which are seen in pi pi, pi eta, K K-bar channels of phi(1020) radiative…
We report on our reexamination of the radiative corrections to $\pi_{l2}$ and $K_{l2}$ decays. We perform a matching calculation, using a specific model with vector meson dominance in the long distance part and the parton model in the short…
A multichannel description of the light scalar mesons in the framework of the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion is generalised by including vector-vector and scalar-scalar channels, besides the usual pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar channels.…
We evaluate the decay branching ratios of $\chi_{c1}\to PS$, in a quark model parametrization scheme, where $P$ and $S$ stand for pseudoscalar and scalar meson, respectively. An interesting feature of this decay process is that the…
